Giovanni Battista Piranesi (Venice, 1720-Rome, 1780), "Vedute del Tempio Detto della Concordia", etching on paper, signed lower left "Cavalier Piranesi F.", plate marked "12" upper right and "764", sight 22 3/4 in. x 31 1/2 in., in a cove molded ebonized and parcel gilt frame. E800-1200 Note: In Piranesi's day the building in question was thought to represent "The so-called temple of Concordia" built to mark the agreement achieved between patricians and plebians in 367 B.C. Today, only ruins remain, while the building depicted in this etching is in fact the temple of Saturn, the Roman Forum's oldest surviving structure. Located at the West End of the Via Sacre, near the arch of Septimius Severus, dedicated in 498 B.C.
